This amazing plant has been in my collection for at least ten years. It was a discount plant I purchased at Wight\u2019s nursery, if I remember right. I put it in a patio pot and it has put on a bigger an better show every year. The leaves are deep green with red tones and backing, and the stems are maroon. They shoot up tall in spring and the flower show of myriad red flowers starts soon after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
